Meat Market, Tontine Street.
Built as a slaughterhouse in 1831, and remained in use as a meat market until mid-November 1987.
The building was Grade II listed in October 1951.
In the late 1990s the building was refurbished to become Tontine Shopping Centre, comprising a number of shop units.
In 1999 the building became a Waterstones bookshop, together with a Wetherspoons pub called 'Reginald Mitchell', after the designer of the Spitfire WWII fighter plane.
